    Just watched the David Haye fight.

    Doesn't look like he has lost his hand speed moving up at all.
    This is only the second time I see him fight but a really great performance, had Barrett hitting the floor multiple times. Looked kind of sloppy but he got the job done. I think he should do well in the heavyweight division, not sure if he can become the heavyweight champ but he should give lots of fighters problems.
    I don't think there is anyone in the heavyweight division right now that matches his speed. He also didn't look that much smaller standing next to Vitali.


    I thought the point deduction on Barret was completely unnecessary and uncalled for though. Haye was swinging at Monte while he was going down and I think even caught him a couple of times while he was and was not deducted any points. It's not like it would have mattered anyway, Haye either way was gonna win that fight but I'm just saying.

    Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of Haye. Hopefully he can bring a breath of fresh air to the Heavyweight division.

    btw, I can't help but laugh at how Vitali talks after watching Borat.
    Cohan got that accent down to the t!

      What I like most about Haye is that he's VERY EXCITING to watch. He wants to take your head off with every punch and he's not scared to take risks in the ring. He always brings it and it seems like his attitude is all about "I'm going to win by KO or get knocked the fucc out"

      BTW...Yes Sacha Cohen got that eastern european accent perfectly. LOL

        lol, I said the same thing to my girlfriend, "Very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!"

        Haye is without a doubt the most exciting Heavyweight at the moment. His hand speed looks fantastic. His chin constantly worries me though, I always feel like he's one shot away from getting Khan'd, but I suppose that's part of the excitement with David Haye.

        I pray to Allah, Vishnu, Buddha, Hey-Zeus Christo, and Satan that he beats the Klitschko's

          Agree with this!

          Whenever I watch him fight, every shot makes me sit up. If he throws, his power, his speed...damn, if he's getting hit his chin always worries me. I think it just adds to the excitement of Haye.

          I am sure he will be taken out, in pretty spectacular fasion, sometime soon. But, I will always root for him.

              The thing about Haye is - you guys said it- he's exciting. Honestly, I agree he did look a bit sloppy a few times when he was winging in to put Barrett down again but that, to me, was a conscious decision to try and finish in impressive fashion. Haye knew what statement knocking Barrett out would be- the only one that would cause his star to continue to rise. So, when confronted with the chance he went all out- like many boxers refuse to- and pulled the trigger to try and get his guy down again. Even then, the aggression he uses when trying to finish an opponent actually seems to be getting more effective to me.

                It is exciting to watch Hayes swing away. But the best part of the fight was Barretts' ring entrance. Even though I like Hayes, I have a feeling when he fights W.Klitschko, he can keep Hayes at a distance w/ that jab that he wins all his fights with. I hate to say it, but that jab is pretty sick, boring but sick.

                  I haven't seen him enough to know much about his chin, the two fights I've seen him in he hasn't had much problems. But then again, I am new to Haye.
                  Indeed he is entertaining though.
